Here's me in 2025, hoping to get comfortable on a social media site that's not owned by a wannabe broligarch.

Yesterday I asked Claude.ai to write 5 paragraphs on the history of my current topic, with citations. First it warned me it might "hallucinate" facts, then it proceeded to wildly *invent* a whole section of our state constitution as part of its answer. 1/2

i had a dream about a website, it looked like twitter but all the posts were from tumblr and all the comments were from facebook

I like that every 2-3 years there’s a major news event that causes Mark Zuckerberg to sit down in increasingly bad outfits and somberly talk to the camera saying the company is going to change everything for the worse from the last time they changed everything for the worse

Bluesky has never met me before, yet for some reason is confident my two true passions are museums and moss

I saw it. This morning Joe suddenly interrupted Mika's news segment to ramble on about Clinton, then assured the panel that those of us complaining on social media were not a part of the real world. Okay, Joe
A slight tension here.

I always have 3-4 craft projects going at once. I'm not an overachiever. It's just that some things need time to dry

Way ahead of you, baby
everyone should have some massive, insane art project they can leave unfinished at the time of their death

an epic poem in a made up language!

seventeen intricate altars made out of trash!

something with way too many antlers!

amaze and trouble the world upon your passing

Today I bought my first original, retail-priced piece of art--an oil painting of a local park, by a local artist. I hope I can overcome sticker shock, because I'm actually very happy with it.

I am a 60-year-old woman in a j.jill dress, and I have arrived early to hear a choir and orchestra I support, and if I'm playing Pokemon Go in my pew before the concert begins, it's nothing but the standard of respectability.
